Dirty Harry (1971) Smith & Wesson 29

This Smith and Wesson Model 29 was used by Clint Eastwood in
Dirty Harry and Magnum Force (1972). It
was a gift from Eastwood and Warner Brothers to film writer /
director John Milius, who wrote significant parts of Dirty
Harry and is credited with writing the screen play for
Magnum Force. The pistol received notoriety as being the "most
powerful handgun in the world" and prompted civilian Model 29
purchases to skyrocket following the film's success.
